This question is about the article "Is the word 'ghetto' racist?"

Answer and Explanation:

Initially the word "ghetto" was created to designate a small Italian neighborhood where Jews lived. After a long time this word was used to designate areas where a social minority is found in large numbers, in America, these places are considered a type of "slum" where many blacks, or economically weak people huddle together to build houses. This made the word take on a perjective meaning today. This is because Americans have used the word "ghetto" in a racist way to express places and behaviors associated with the black, poor and resourceless population that is outside the considerable standard admired by society.
